This evening LOCO citizens were on the
ground to witness the dress parade.
The following order was read:
ADJUTANT GENERALS OFFICE, TERRITORY
OF DAKOTA, CAMP CHURCH, HURON, Oak.
Sept. 3.-General order No. IS. The COM
mander-in-chief respectfully calls the atten-
ton of the officers and men Of the Dako-
ia National Guard to the fact that the citi
zens of Dakota and especially those of HUI
ron are deeply interested at this time
III the welfare and discipline of the guards.
This people have generously provided for the
guards through the legislature by an ample
appropriation for this encampment and they
expect that this generosity will not he
abused nor the effort at instruction
De wholly lost The commander-in chief
recognizes the fact that the guards are chiefly
composed of enthusiastic and ardent young
men, who, in private life, demean themselves
i'll Il courteous and gentemanly manner,
commanding the respect of their neighbors
and friends. The commander expects and
demands that this gentlemanly demeanor
shall prevail while in camp, and that naught
shall occur hereafter TO mar either the effici-
ency of the command or the pleasure of the
occasion.
EXCESSIVE HILARITY
is an offense to any community, and when
participated in by soldiers is disastrous to
discipline and injurious to the service. What
has occurred i'll the past is irrevocable. In
the future it can be changed. 1t is, there
fore, ordered that the commanding officer of
Camp Church, as well as all regimental and
company commanders. shall, from this time
prevent the indiscriminate passing of
officers and men through the guard
ines, and it is directed that the command be
kept closer in camp hereafter. From this
time on the visiting of saloons by bodies
of men belonging to the command must be
discontinued and any officer or man of the
regiment battalions or battery found intoxi-
Gated while wearing his uniform, shall be ar
rested and charges preferred against him. If
any member of the general staff be found in
toxicated while wearing his uniform, his
commission will be revoked. By ordar of
Louis K. CHURCH,
Governor and COmmander-in-C Chief
n. y. TYNOE. Adjutant General.
A special order was also issued revok-
ing the commissions of Col. Brown,
chief engineer, and Col. Webb, men,
berS of the governors staff. While
there is profound regret among the Off
GERS and men because of the necessity
of this action, all heartily
COMMEND GOV. CHURCH
for his promptneSS and efforts to SuS-
tain the dignity and reputation of the
Dakota National guard. Col. Brown is
an old soldier, and bears an excellent
reputation among the G. A. r. men
much sympathy expressed for him, and
it is hoped that the governors prompt
action at this time will prevent any
further similar orders being necessary.
There can be no political significance
attached to Gov. Church's action. Mr..
Brown is Republican and Mr..
Webb a Democrat and chairman of
the Pembina county central committee.
Adjt. Gen. Tyner keenly regrets the
necessity of the removal of two such
prominent officers, but fully indorses
the governor. who with himself are la
boring necessarily to make the encamp-
ment what it should be, credit to Da-
kota and the government which has sc
generously provided for her militia
This evening the bands of both regi-
mentS serenaded Gov. Church at the
Arlington. In response to call, he
appeared and briefly addressed the as
sembly, assuring both citizens and sol
diers that he was ready to assist in any
thing that would contribute to their
welfare, and to the furtherance of such
measures as would secure for them the
highest hOnors.
